Explanation:
Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.
- These metals are found uncombined because they are unreactive.
- They prefer to alloy with themselves.
- Calcium and magnesium on the other hand are reactive metals.
- The unreactivity of these metals makes them uncombined in nature.
Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.
In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

Answer: Boiling chips provide surfaces on which bubbles can form as the liquid boils.
Hope this helps!
It shows the atomic number
It would be an physical change ; if you melt butter the butter goes from a solid to a liquid so therefore the physical state is changed.
